There is great power in focusing on what you want..... The person who tries to do everything accomplishes nothing. Most people try to be all things to everyone. And so they end up being nothing to anyone. Confucius nailed the point: "Person who chases two rabbits catches neither."
Robin SharmaOur wounds ultimately give us wisdom. Our stumbling blocks inevitably become our stepping stones. And our setbacks lead us to our strengths
Robin SharmaIve learned that everything happens for a reason, the yogi Krishnan told him. Every event has a why and all adversity teaches us a lesson... Never regret your past. Accept it as the teacher that it is.
Robin SharmaDonโt tolerate any form of average. Donโt accept Dis-excellence. Donโt stand for mediocre. If youโre going to settle, then please settle for the absolute best.
Robin SharmaKindness, quite simply, is the rent we must pay for the space we occupy on this planet.
Robin SharmaThe beautiful thing about TODAY is that you get the choice to make it better than YESTERDAY

Robin SharmaPeople can be happy while they are going through great pain and adversity. There's no pleasure evident in their external lives yet they are content on the inside. And conversely, tons of people are surrounded by pleasure (fast cars, nice homes, great clothes) but there is no joy within. So choose to be happy.
Robin SharmaFrom tonight onwards, take complete control of your life. Decide, once and for all, to be the master of your fate. Run your own race. Discover your calling and you will start to experience the ecstasy of an inspired life.
Robin SharmaBeing an elite performer on the playing field of life is not about being perfect. Rather, it is about cultivating a mental focus towards mastery in every area of your life. It is about commiting yourself, from the core of your heart, to manifest and polish your highest talents and become the person you are destined to be.
Robin SharmaI often joke with my audiences that I make most of my income on a ski pole. People smile but they get my point. You need to make time for your genius to flow. We get our creative bursts, those idea torrents that take our business and personal lives to the next level, while we are skiing or drinking coffee in a Starbucks or walking in the woods or meditation with a sunrise. Those pursuits are not a waste of time. Creativity comes when you are relaxed, happy and enjoying the moment. And when it comes, it brings ideas that rock your world.
Robin SharmaTo be true to ourselves, however, is not an easy task. We must break free of the seductions of society and live life on our own terms, under our own values and aligned with our original dreams. We must tap our hidden selves; explore the deep-seated, unseen hopes, desires, strengths and weaknesses that make us who we are. We must understand where we have been and where we are going.
Robin SharmaWhat distinguishes success from failures is that the successes constantly thirst for new ideas and knowledge.
Robin SharmaThe ordinary focus on what they're getting. The extraordinary think about who they're becoming.
Robin SharmaGandhi said 'One cannot do right in one area of life whilst he is occupied in doing wrong in another; Life is one indivisible whole.' This point of wisdom is profound. A commitment to excellence is not just reserved for a few select areas of your life - it must be reflected in everything you do. Your diet must reflect your commitment to excellence. Your physique must reflect your commitment to excellence. Your personal habits must reflect your commitment to excellence and your thoughts must reflect a commitment to excellence.
Robin SharmaThe value of getting to your goals lives not in reaching the goal but what the talents/strengths/capabilities the journey reveals to you.
Robin SharmaEither you set your goals and, in doing so, have your life governed by choice or you do nothing and have your life governed by chance.
